There seems to be one annual exception to that, since time immemorial, Jenny Grainer has been producing high quality Variety Shows in aid of charity. In spite of personal illness, and yet again this year she packed out the Lagoa auditorium. Last Friday night, a delighted audience came to see Jenny’s latest offering - which was as usual a great line up of musicians, well known singers and dancers who gave their time and talents free of charge to support local charities. The result was a great show that the audience loved. Everything from country and western to dance, drums and Comedienne Siân, ably assisted by her ‘musical director’ Brian (photo) who never fails to surprise us!
A total of €3,840 was raised to build two additional classrooms for a much needed nursery school in Carvoeiro and also an undisclosed sum for SOS Oncologia – undisclosed because the key to the donations box went missing at opening time!
Needless to say, Jenny said that this was the last year she would produce the show, (but she said that last year as well!) Make a note in your diary, November 2016, not to be missed.
